Set back from the busy Cote d'Azur, amongst hills planted with olive groves and vineyards, La Mude is situated some 15 miles west of Draguignan, the old capital of the Var, and 30 miles north west of St Tropez.

Facing south, with outstanding views over the surrounding countryside, the house and heated pool stand in 2 1/2 acres terraced grounds, planted with olive and fruit trees. It is extremely quiet and private, whilst being a few minutes walk from Sillans la Cascade a pretty Provencal Village, and only five minutes drive from Salernes, which has very good shopping facilities and lively markets on Wednesdays and Sundays.

The Heated pool is situated a few steps down from the house and lies in full sun, measuring 10m x 5m with a shallow end of 1m. It is cleaned twice a week and the grounds maintained regularly. Garden furniture is provided together with sun beds for around the pool.

It is exstremely private, whilst being 15 minutes walk from the village of Sillans la Cascade and five minutes drive by car from Salernes, with it's excellent shopping facilities and lively markets.

Sillans la Cascade : Dating back to Roman times, the picturesque village of Sillans la Cascade seems to have escaped many of the changes wrought on other Provencal villlages by Tourism. Dominated by it's Chateau and 11th century ramparts, the sleepy narrow streets and typical mellow stone buildings sit perched above the Breque river, which flows down to it's spectactaculer waterfall.

Restaurants. There are many excelent restaurants locally and a list can be found in my information book. The book also contains a list of places to visit and exsiting things to do.

Local distractions. Include tennis, which is only 5 minutes drive from the house, horse-riding in Salernes and Sillans-la-Cascade, Golf driving range 15 minutes and golf 45 minutes by car. There is plenty of opportunity for both walking and cycling, with forest and cross-country tracks running directly from the villa, with little need to use the roads.

Other activities. Wine tasting in local vineyards, a visit to the monastery at Le Thoronet, natural caves in Villecroze, the waterfall in Sillans-la-Cascade (10 minutes walk from the house), and numerous picturesque Provencal villages well worth visiting.

The Lac St Croix, 30 minutes to the north, offers a peaceful haven to the coast, where one can picnic, swim, windsurf and sail. The notorious Grand Canyon du Verdon, reputed to be the deepest gorge in Europe, leads into the lake and is well worth a visit for its impressive scenery.

There is an excellent choice of local restaurants, a list of which are left in the villa, together with telephone numbers.
